Ekiti guber: APC has brought hundreds of thugs, written results for July 14 – Fayose
All Progressives Congress (APC) has brought hundreds of thugs to
saturate all hotels in Ekiti with an alleged plan to cause problems at
both the polling units and collation centres during the July 14 poll.
Fayose alleged that the thugs were allegedly hired by APC governors
from neighbouring states and that they would be given cover to cause
problems during the July 14 poll in polling units and collation
centres, with a view to giving APC room to manipulate the poll.
Governor Fayose also alleged that the APC in cohorts with the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), had written results
for the poll, particularly in Ado Ekiti, the State capital, with
highest votes, Ikere, second largest with votes and some rural areas.
He quoted the figures allegedly written by APC and INEC, saying: APC
and INEC have already apportioned figures as predetermines results
they would declare after the poll. In Ado Ekiti for example, the
apportioned 237,27 for APC, and 14,853 for PDP, and did the same for
Ikere and many rural areas in Mona and other Local Government areas."
Alleging further, governor Fayose said: "It is with great concern that
I want to update the nation and international community that Ekiti is
already saturated by thugs of APC which we believe the security agents
would cover for during polls.
"Our hotels in Ekiti are jam packed with various thugs who are coming
to cause problems at the polling and collation centres. They are going
to get police cover and will cause mayhem during polls. Because APC
had already written results in nine Local Government areas of Ekiti
State.
"We urge the security agents to do everything it can to ensure
peaceful election, shooting and intimidating people at collating and
voting centres will not augur well with us in this state.
"I want ask and plead with the security agencies to allow Ekiti people
to make their choice of next governor in peace. The level of
desperation by the APC in Ekiti is second to none. We will not look
away and allow our rights to be taken way. I call on Ekiti people to
remain resolute and strong, we must follow them bumper to bumper and
not allow them to rig the election. The power of the people is greater
those of us in power. I call on the Federal Government to disallow any
act that can set this state on fire.
"l want to call on the police to check the activities of the thugs
before the poll is either canceled or be marred by thugs and violence.
In most of the rural areas they intend to strike.
"I want to tell them that this is going to be an uphill task. I urge
you Ekiti to remain firm, 99 percent of others coming as security or
INEC officials and thugs for the election are not Ekiti people, the
next governor is going rlto govern Ekiti, so leave us alone. Don't
bring mayhem to Ekiti.
"The thugs are sponsored by neighbouring governors to win the July 14
poll by all cost. You can only know beginning of war not its ending.
We urge all parties that the only thing we want is peace and not
violence," he said.
